    Question Pro's and Con's of the OMS r-1 reg

    I have been thinking of transfering a OMS r-1 reg to my rig. I understand this is considered a deco reg. Why and what are the pro's and con's?

    Pros:
    -100% O2 clean
    -venturi switch

    Cons:
    -no env. kit
    -not available in yoke
    -limited ports (1HP, 3LP)
    -stupid colour for a primary.

    I guess it depends on what you are using it for. Is it as a primary set-up or for doubles.
